[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
I included the pdf in this post so try it out.

it should be located on your sdcard root

No no sbf, to unroot you would use clockwork recovery to flash a stock image and it would be back to root

You probably need to run step three again. The phone should have restarted at the end of step three after it said congrats.

After pushing files and when it pops up saying stuff about bootloader the phone should have automatically rebooted, if not rerun the step you were on.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Also, for those getting ready to start, Before running the root app I would highly recomend installing the HTC sync drivers and reboot the phone and computer.Then throw in debug mode and charge only.

This should cut down on quite a few issues.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
Try a couple of different steps, 1 unplug and replug in your phone. Possibly even reboot, then run step three again. Try closing rooter.exe restarting it and running step three. The phone will reboot it just has to get the final comands.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Thanks for all help guys just needed to have a little patience with rooter it's updating right now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
tried that still not working. Should I try the whole process over again?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
go into settings and turn usb debugging back on,i can almost guarantee that's your problem. also, im gone just long enough to make breakfast and I miss 2 pages of posts, wow.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
lmfao, god I can't get this to work for me. It checks the SD card, but there is no option for yes once I get to the bootloader. Any ideas?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] toomie05:
alright i just got my thunderbolt today =) and ive been looking through this for awile and never confirmed what we are suppose to do... so do we just run the exe thats inside the rar file?

p.s. is anyone else getting redicoulous download time?

Thanks for your hard work!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] taverentech:
I want to change my vote? any way to do that? Its works! I had downloaded a bad/older rar file somehow (one that did not have those three apk files in it).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
nope, had debugging set to on
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@andrew 1) is your card fat32? 2) did you press power to actually go into bootloader after it reboots?

@toomie and you EXTRACT the rar then run the only exe in there yes. and yes download will be horrible due to server strain.

@jaskil did you unplug/replug your phone before doing step 3? also did step 3 autoreboot your phone or not?

@taverentech no there is no way to change your vote sadly.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
yes unplugged and re-plugged. Step three did not auto-reboot for me
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
That's why. Unplug/replug, ensure debugging is on, then press step 3. After it completes press it again. Do that until it reboots on its own, usually it just means adb didn't catch for some reason.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Yea step 3 did not reboot for me either
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
See my previous post for jaskil, same problem same fix.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Thanks db so when it reboots that's it?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] taverentech:
1. Yes, download that large rar file, and run rooter.exe.

make sure yours has the three apk files in it (I got older copy first that that did not).

2. however, before you do this... make sure you can ADB shell to your phone. do ls -l,

after step 1, do busybox md5sum /sdcard/*.zip or whatever.. basically, make sure you can do basic ADB commands.

I like to 'watch' the process from ADB shell, and I'll do ls -l and md5sum to check files to make sure they are what they should be.. and that it didn't hang or anything (because some parts it is slow and there is no progress bar).
[Thunderbolt Android Development] finanandroid:
I used PDF Guide, flawless just one error #2, then you have 20 seconds to unplug the phone make sure you got selected charger only, and debugging selected, after plugging the phone it start pushing all the files without error. #3 was quick when to Congrats tunderbolt rooted! then when to RM intalls clockwork recovery after start first SU from my app, when succesfully doing my back up from cwr, ready to flash my first Rom free of bloatware! Thank you very much for your enormus hard work DBZfanatic, and all the people envolved and willing to help the great android Community. PD: I did Fixpermission from CWR.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Yeah it is. Just checked. And I am clicking the bootloader option. :confused:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero yes

@taver wrong the NEWER version doesn't have those apk files. In the newer version there IS a progress bar of sorts so you're using an older version now,not before.

@fin im glad it worked ok for you and if you're getting an error you're using an older version.

@andrew does it scan? do you reboot or does it do it on its own?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
Going to start over at step one. Tried all the suggestions for step three it simply won't auto boot. Thanks for all the help guys.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Did you read my post? It wont work because you have an older version of the files. Update and all will go smoothly. With the update you don't flash clockwork from RomManager, it's included. Also do NOT start from step 1,EVER! You could brick your phone! If you are going to start over first run the unrooter file..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Woohoo db you are THE MAN thanks for all help and everyone else also, donation here I come.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@frod thanks for the info, hopefully that'll help some others out.

@james that is just messed up, if it installed the apk files it should've pushed those files. Did you try running step 3 twice without rebooting yet?

@rckeystone looks like i can't head out just yet,keep getting pulled back in

Edit: @everyone if you can't get it to reboot into the bootloader try what frod did and make sure that there is a file called AdbWinUsbApi.dll
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothamexican:
I downloaded the 800mb .rar file and i get the same error message (except with the name of my comp of course)

sorry for sounding like a such a noob
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Did you extract the files?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothamexican:
i opened the rar file in 7zip, I see the individual files. I thought by opening it extracted them, am I wrong?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah, you're wrong. You have to actually extract as in move them from the archive into a folder.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dave0373:
Can we get mirror? Your seems to be getting pounded. At 1% for half an hour so far.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Alright I'll get a mirror up soon.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothamexican:
so from the 7zip program I drag them into a seperate folder? sorry for the noob questions
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
yeah that should work. i use winrar so im not 100% sure but that should work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ddgarcia05:
Mediafire would be awesome.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] frodsteamin2:
I hope my info helps those that want some sort of timeline for how long it takes, at least for my phone.

after loading into bootloader and choosing yes to upgrade it took approx. 11 minutes to install everything and reboot back into google setup screen. onto step 2. i hope i did it right. we will see.

enabled debugging and step two began, i got the error before the hash, it flashed htootend.nb0 approx. 6 minutes, not exact but approx.

onto step 3 which is just booted back into bootloader for firmware to flash.

step 3 from pressing up in bootloader (it updating firmware) to rebooting back into homescreen took approx. 9 minutes
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothamexican:
I dragged the files from there to a folder on my desktop but I got an error message telling me the PG05 file is broken.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jamestx10:
I Tried 3 times. no go. Then I loaded SU from the market. Rebooted and it worked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] racedog:
Sigh, I was downloading the 800+ meg file for quite a while and went to check to see how much was left and accidentally closed the download and now it says that I have exceeded by daily allowance (1 file a day).

R
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@james hm, wierd :/ at least it works. next upload i make that shouldn't be an issue.

@it's probably trying to extract. you don't extract the PG05IMG zip files, you leave them as zips. you need the files setup exactly as they are in the rar

@racedog wow...that sucks. once i have a few things hammered out i'll post an updated version that should fix most of the issues people are having and remove step 3 completely.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothamexican:
i drag the pg file over to the new folder but it still tries to extract it. how do I transfer over without changing anything
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
i'd suggest not using 7zip, get winrar then just right-click the rar file and click "extract to"
[Thunderbolt Android Development] anothamexican:
let me try that, Ill google it.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] TheMorlince:
I am working on setting up a mirror right now. I have a fiber connection where i am at so hopefully i can get this done asap.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
when you get it up post the link and I'll add it to the OP
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
I do not see SU or Rom Manager in the new pkg...are they suppose to be there?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
It scans then there is no option to click yes, then I have to do a battery pull to get it to reboot.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
No, they are installed automatically with the ROM flash.

@andrew the scanning takes a long time, just wait.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
ok got it.....

RomManager.apk, Superuser.apk, su, and wpthis you removed then?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
What rom? Did not get them had to do it manually but rom manager says no roots access
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@nero step 2 flash,they're installed automatically

@tommy wrong, wpthis is still there.

Edit: somehow you guys are still getting an older version. I'm removing the mirror links until I find out why.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Should I do step 2 again?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Just tried it again, and the p(...).img that is supposed to be flashed isn't there, it says no image. And it did successfully push the files it said.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
You might want to check that...I it wasn't in the pkg I DL about 7 hrs ago. :eek:
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Paris_Carter:
fix:i ran step three again

LoL sry i been up almost 16 hrs (military) just got this phone last night.

Thanx again
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Guys, if you're having problems go back tot he first post and redownload the whole thing from the MegaUpload link, apparently someone on one of the mirrors was giving out an old version that wasn't working. If step 1 worked for you start at step 2 of the update, if not start at step 1 but for the love of your phones do NOT start at step 1 if step one has already worked.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adam80460:
Is there a way to check if we have the correct version? Beside having to download it again..
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
What the !!!!"" I still have s-on and TB is updating again.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@adam The rooter program should be version 1.6.3.2 and you should NOT have any apk files or su in the folder. If you do you have an older version.

@nero what program version are you running?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Sorry just deleted everything and redownloading but every thing is factory reset and no su or rm
[Thunderbolt Android Development] adam80460:
Thanks I am good to go then.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Can I just download just the rooter zip or is the su and rm apk in the file
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
GUYS DON'T DOWNLOAD ANY FILES! SOMETHING WENT WRONG WITH THE UPLOAD SOMEHOW AND IT IS DISTRIBUTING AN OLDER VERSION. it's probably linking to an older version I uploaded before for some reason but I don't know why. I'm going to try and get this fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Okay
[Thunderbolt Android Development] em2drvr03:
i rooted with s off but i go to run fix permissions in rom manager and i get "an error occurred while attempting to run privileged commands"...Whats wrong
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dave0373:
I was able to root with the first method you posted last week. I did find out you have to install busybox from titanium back for it to work. Wonder if the people who have root and have problems should download busybox from titanium back up?

Sent from my rooted Thunderbolt.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
please read before posting, you have an older version. do not do anything for now just wait for the upload to be fixed.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
That would be the problem then. Downloaded this am, but it's not that version. Would this explain the problems with step three for me??
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yes it would, i have removed links due to the fact that I don't know where people are getting the older version from.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] em2drvr03:
whats the problem tho??Does step three not do anything?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
There are multiple issues with the older version which could lead to bricked phones if you mix&match the steps from the different program versions.

Everyone please stop posting in this thread until I have edited this post to say I fixed the upload. I can't monitor the thread and fix the problem at the same time.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
Don't know if this helps, but the pkg I DL this morning was missing 4 files that the older pkg had....

RomManager.apk, Superuser.apk, su, and wpthis

I know you said the new pkg is not suppose to have RomManager.apk, Superuser.apk, su though.

But the rooter version is the 1.6.3.2.....I'll wait for the new pkg and re-do this I a am also getting the permission error in Rom Manager.

EDIT: Sry - i wont post anymore. :(
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Sweeet I can't make or receive calls
[Thunderbolt Android Development] ruddymart:
Ok, just woke up guys. Been trying step3 over and over until 6am and never got it to reboot. However I did step2 twice and I see s-off and I also see superuser app in my drawer. I also flashed to VR ROM, so I need to know if I am good despite step3 fail or I need to do steps 1-3 again?

And I still get error when I click "fix permissions" in Rom manager.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
DBZ, I successfully got my self unrooted and back from that test ruu(1.03.605.10) and got back up and running 1.12.605.06

I have the new easy root file and my rooter is version 1.6.3.2, my file also has no apks or su so I assume its the new one. However should I still wait in light of the warning you just posted about an older version being distributed? or should I be ok to try the easy root?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] finanandroid:
Open SU first, then try again to open RM, try instead to go CWR to Fix permission
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
This is the last time I'm going to say this. If someone posts again I'm having the thread closed because people can't follow directions. You'll have to wait until I release a completely new version of the program if this thread is closed.

Everyone please stop posting in this thread until I have edited this post to say I fixed the upload. I can't monitor the thread and fix the problem at the same time.

edit: uploading a version that i KNOW is right as I type this. It will take a while but I'll post it in the OP when it's done and allow people to request help again. Sorry for being so severe but I was being overwhelmed by all the posts/PMs/link checking/etc that was going on in order to track down the errors.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew8806:
Closing thread until further notice. OP please PM me when you want the thread reopened.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew8806:
Reopened thread upon OP's request.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
Wheww !!! That was close
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
Thanks db. Went back to stock unrooted until I can grab the updated files. Thanks for working on this for all of us.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Pithism:
so these new links are the correct ones to now download, and does it matter what one to download from?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
The links in the OP should be the right ones. Check the version though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
I have decided that I am idiot :)

Let me retrace my steps.

I downloaded the newest file in the first post.

Plugged in my TB.....double clicked on the 'rooter' exe file.....

It said finding devices.....turned on dameon.....said pushing files....

Then gives me the 'bootloader' statement.

But nothing happens. Do I have to reboot the phone myself?

Am I just losing it or what?!?!?!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Does it display your device? It should have a serial and then say "device" under "list of devices attached".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
It happens just try it a couple of times its gonna reboot itself .my bad db's here
[Thunderbolt Android Development] pmdied:
In case it hasn't been said enough, thanks for your hard work.

Sent from my toilet seat.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
So the new file should I restart at step 2?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah start at step 2 if you ever got step 1 to work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
No it does not.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
That's why it doesn't work. Did you install your drivers? Is usb debugging on? Is it in charge-only mode?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] em2drvr03:
hey i got though step 2 earlier and tried step 3 but it gave me an error when trying to su....should i try step 3 in this new one again?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
Debugging, yes, charge only, yes,

umm what drivers?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] Pithism:
i know you probably answered this question already, but what version should we look for?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@dtt255 Start over from step 2, the way things are handled has changed

@pithism 1.3.6.2
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
I got mine re-rooted. I just had to do Step 1 twice, and step 3, 3 times. After step three, I ran ClockworkMod Recovery from Rom Manager and it all went well. Now i can delete the IMG.ZIP on the SD card right?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Yeah delete it. Glad it worked, sorry for the repeated steps but that seems to be an adb issue :/
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
How long is step 2 supposed to take about? I have 10+ lines of dots lol
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It should only take about 3-4 lines :/ kill the program and try again. You're fine as long as it didn't reboot yet or say "flashing".
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dtt255:
I never got to step 2....my phone never showed up in the list.....
[Thunderbolt Android Development] andrew53517:
Okay, and I tried it 2 times already and nothing, I'm downloaded the newest files now. Start from step 2 again correct? NOT 1?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] tommyxv:
No need to be sorry....and thank you very much for all your work.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] nerogold:
So the problem with the file was it your part or confusion of new and old being uploaded the same time. ?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
@everyone if you got step 1 to work start at step 2, otherwise start at step 1

@tommy you're welcome

@nero it was apparently people downloading from other places, they posted direct links to old files and I had to remove those links.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] cnmsales:
Ok, I have a friend who is using this to root there TB.

They have gone through the process but are stuck on step 3.

They have unplugged from USB. Debug is enabled. Phone is set to CHARGE only. And ADB does recognize the device.

On step 3 they are getting the following

"Click step 3 will only give:

Please make sure USB Debugging is on and you have already removed and replaced the usb cord to your phone to ensure it it registers.

Mounting /system

Copying su and changing permissions.

Reboot 2 or 3 times then open RomManager and intall the Thunderbolt recovery by clicking "Flash ClockworkMod Recovery".

They have also tried Step 7 of the manual method but get the following.

"Here is what I show in the command prompt:

Whats going on here? What do we need to do?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
If it says anything about flashing clockwork you're using an older version. Please download the newer version and restart from step 2.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
in step 3 when it as me to open Rom Manager and Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery should the phone reboot before i do that ? or it reboots after That ? .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
IT SHOULD NOT TELL YOU TO OPEN ROM MANAGER! I JUST said that. That's an older version. Check your version number.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Oh man i just downloaded it from the mirror , how do i check the version number ? .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Right-click>properties>details tab. What mirror did you use?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
Db- that's exactly the problem I was having with step 3 before, it was saying to flash clockwork recovery. Downloading the updated version from op. Hopefully will go flawless from there.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Whats the version we need?
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
It's in the title.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
1.3.6.2 I believe.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
There was only mirror , when i looked about 2 secs ago it was removed and said wrong version . I have the wrong version it's 1.4.0.0 . I have to go download that whole file again . The reason i used the mirror the original link wasn't working
[Thunderbolt Android Development] corenojoe:
Ok, getting a temporarily unavailable from megaupload
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
Mines downloading now, hopefully it's the right version. Give it a bit, so many downloads right now.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
Right the megaupload server is SLAMMED right now, go google "thunderbolt easyroot" and see how many results come up. Of course it's gonna take a while. I'll try to get a working mirror up though.
[Thunderbolt Android Development] n64man:
The version I have is 1.6.3.2. Do I have a wrong version or is the title of this thread just a typo? lol, just making sure.

Thanks!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] dbzfanatic:
oh crap! it's a typo thanks for pointing that out!
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jawonder:
Yeah it's downloading now and at 5% 1:40mins left .
[Thunderbolt Android Development] jaskil1975:
Lol yeah I saw that too should be 1.6.3.2 right?
